INTERNATIONAL

In the war-torn Gaza Strip, Moataz al-Zaanin embarked on a perilous journey from one pharmacy to another amidst the relentless shelling by the Israeli occupation forces. His mission: to secure milk for his hungry infants, a task that had become increasingly challenging due to the scarcity of essential supplies.

September 01 The Trump administration in United States has decided to stop aid for lakhs of Palestinian refugees after slashing bilateral aid projects in West bank and Gaza.
